Ah. German is not so bizarre as Polish, which is what the weird Pittsburgh food mostly is.
Pierogies are... mashed potatoes wrapped in dough. Ham barbeque is... chipped ham covered in barbeque sauce. I am not kidding. It's absolutely vile, and the first time I saw it I could not believe it. Hot dogs around here are eaten covered in kraut. More kraut than dog. I love this area, we have wonderful weather and it's beautiful, but gosh! we have to import the food.

oooh, lots of Poles where I grew up too! I always put kraut on my hot dogs (except when I put chili on them). mmmm, Polska kielbasa, that's good eatin'!
Now I'm getting hungry, and I just ate dinner!

The church we attended in DC was inter-denominational, but affiliated with the Mennonites. One of our friends favorite dishes was pigs stomach. She said it's what her mom always fixed for birthday dinners...ick...

Hey...I LIKE Pierogies. And kraut...one of the things I liked best about Germany! Kielbasa is good stuff, too...especially with kraut and potatoes.
Different tastes for different folks, I guess! (Or as my Dad would say...more for us!)
